Essential Tips
Verify truck size suitability for canyon roads to prevent access issues or shuttle surcharges. Mountain driveways may require clear space for safe maneuvering, and rescheduling due to weather can avoid costly delays. Arrange communication plans because of variable cell reception, and opt for in-home or video estimates to account for stairs and layout complexities.

Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $104,218 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Colorado report $90,759. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Boulder County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 27% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
